Yet another problem: some drivers calls pci_save_state() from ->probe() callback
to use this saved state in pci_error_handlers->slot_reset().
As result pdev->state_saved is true mostly all time.
At least e1000e and drivers/pci/pcie/portdrv_pci.c are doing this.

I think it will be safer to revert 42eca2302146 in v3.8
